Expert book in rehabilitation
This book is a very useful and practical reference about seismic rehabilitation and strengthening. The main advantage is to reduce the gap between theory and performance in this subject. I recommend reading this book for every engineer who involved in rehabilitation projects.

Review:Appropriate and complete classification of the required contents in the field of seismic rehabilitation in this book has been done in a coherent and accurate manner. I have also read the previous books of Dr.Mokarram Aydenlou , practicality and attention to engineering needs is a significant point in his books.I recommend reading this book for readers who want to learn topics in a practical and in-depth way.

Great book
Dr. Mokaram Aydenlou's book is among few books written on rehabilitation which was able to minimize the gap between theory and performance in the best possible form. Comprehensiveness, step by step algorithms and fantastic imaging are some of the advantegeous of this book indicating the good experience of Dr. Mokaram Aydenlou in the field of rehabilitation. Undoubtedly, it is a suitable guide on undrestanding the various aspects of rehabilitation subjects.

Dr. Mokaram Aydenlou is really expert in seismic rehabilitation of structures. I had the honor of working closely with him in two projects. The valuable published book by Dr. Mokaram involves the strengthening methods of different types of structures such as steel, concrete and masonry structures. Moreover, it includes not only retrofitting structural components, but also non-structural components. Regarding my many years of deep recognizing of Dr. Mokaram and his extensive abilities and experiences in various strengthening projects as well as the comprehensiveness of the published book, I am confident that his new published book will be very useful for the engineering community.

I have worked with Dr. Reza Aydenlou at various times as the project controller. Certainly, with the knowledge that I have of him, the above book will be a completely practical and engineering book for users. I recommend engineers who are looking for practical information for seismic improvement projects of buildings, be sure to read this book because it will be very useful for them.
